About Me
From a young age Eric Michael Craig wrote stories. As early as 7th grade, his English teachers told him he should be a writer. Despite this advice, Eric chose to study electrical engineering, architecture, and physics, eventually becoming Director of Research for IFECT Power Systems in Phoenix. His fascination with science, and his burning desire to know how the universe works, led him to continue studying throughout his career. Fascinated with the cacophony of humanity, he became a keen observer of society and how people relate with things happening in world around them.

Yet the siren’s call never let him go, and ultimately he began writing full time. His first two books in the Atlas and the Winds series, as well as the many other stories and novels he has created, draw from his years of studying how humanity and the universe interact.

He now lives in the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico, where he is active in Intentional Community Design and Historical Recreation. He plays guitar and bass, occasionally dabbles in art of various forms, designs and maintains his own websites, and owns way too many dogs.

Dr. Adam Steele is a brilliant scientist/inventor who is down on his luck and about to give up, when chance drops an Angel into his lap. Not a literal angel, but the type that float through the corridors of business planting the seeds of hope in the heart of dreamers.With her help, he turns the tides of fortune into a literal fortune, but the strings that come with the realization of his life's work, may shred his soul.In time he knows that the price of his success, is simply what everyone else has already paid to use his invention.A short story by the author of Stormhaven Rising and Prometheus and the Dragon.

Everything to fear and nothing to lose, in a world with no tomorrow. In the face of what may be the inevitability of the asteroid Antu’s arrival, the US government and the Chinese National Space Agency ratchet up their efforts to save the Earth, while Colton Taylor, Stormhaven, and the Independent Space Alliance hurl themselves into building survival colonies on the lunar surface. Zhen Long, the Chinese mitigation project, and America's newly established Project Prometheus are both based on the lunar surface, far from the realities of the rapidly disintegrating stability of Earth. Panic and the ever increasing lack of civil control drive civilization to the precipice of war, even as the battle for survival wages on the cold lunar surface. The fundamentally incompatible strategies of these two efforts soon put the superpowers on a collision course that may lead to all out war. In spite of ideological tensions, it is the scientific and technological limitations that will ultimately decide which plan will become humanity’s last, best hope. While these events play out on the lunar surface and in space, humanity struggles with the idea of its collective mortality as it stares into the abyss of a global cataclysm. Fear and fanaticism shatter mankind into its most basic elements and civilization is lost to chaos. Science, political philosophy, and faith, all fall short when the people of Earth face their darkest hours. Hope may give us the strength to rise above the inevitability of destiny, but what will face those who survive the collision of mankind’s ideological zeal and the unforgiving reality of the universe? Prometheus and the Dragon is a gritty exploration of the consequences of throwing ourselves against the millstone of eternity, and discovering that in spite of our strengths, we are still a fragile creation.

I am an author of near future speculative Science Fiction. I currently have 2 books published of a 5 book series. I am also co owner of a Sci Fi and Fantasy discussion group on Facebook called the Sci Fi Roundtable.

When a privately funded team of astronomers detect a large asteroid on a trajectory toward earth, their discovery sets civilization on a collision course with the wheelwork of the universe. The reality of physics, and the relatively short timeframe until impact, pushes humanity into an impossible race against extinction. Fearing panic, the US Government is determined to keep the information about the asteroid secret until after a mitigation project has been launched. However, Colton Taylor, the head of the company that had sponsored the astronomers' work, learns about the asteroid when one of the team manages to get the information to him before Homeland Security can silence her. Taylor is CEO of Stormhaven, a high-tech multinational corporation that has been working for many years on technologies of extraordinary potential. He knows the inventions that Stormhaven has been keeping to itself might just give humanity a chance, but implementing his plan will put him, and more importantly his knowledge of the coming disaster, in the public spotlight. Throwing his substantial industrial empire into an independent strategy for survival, he finds himself locked in a battle with the US Government as he tries to save humanity from the inevitability of its destruction. New alliances are forged, while old ones disintegrate under the strain of keeping the knowledge of the asteroid hidden. Governments turn against each other as chaos spreads and eventually the US Administration finds that, hiding the truth is far less important than the fight for survival. Stormhaven Rising is an edgy, character driven look at what happens when crossed purposes collide with hard reality, on the precipice of doomsday. Book one of Atlas and the Winds.
